From the Kern, Mount Whitney is reached either by the new Wallace Creek
or Golden Trout Creek Trails. The Wallace Creek Trail leaves the Kern
Canyon about a mile and a half north of the mouth of Junction Meadow.
The Golden Trout Trail leaves the lower end of the canyon near Kern
Canyon Ranger Station. At Camp Lewis, near the Kern Canyon Station
entrance to the park, is a small resort, with store and accommodations,
and telephone communication.
An outpost tourist camp is maintained at Ibex Meadow on Lone Pine Creek,
and a special 3-day round trip from Lone Pine to Mount Whitney and
return is provided by a Lone Pine packing outfit. Arrangements have also
been made by the same packer for an all-expense trip from Los Angeles
and return. Lone Pine may be reached by automobile from the San Joaquin
Valley at Bakersfield, or direct from Los Angeles through Mojave.
